Schweppes Cola is a brand of cola produced by Schweppes.
It was primarily available in Australia, but it was eventually made available elsewhere. It was sold in Japan by the Asahi Soft Drinks company from at least 1992 until 1997.{{cite news |last1=Sfiligoj |first1=Eric |title=Japan is leader of the pack in designer drinks |url=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A12186033/ITOF?u=sddp_main&sid=bookmark-ITOF&xid=f74e6b8a |access-date=20 June 2025 |work=Beverage World |date=April 1992}}{{cite news |title=Japan cola market heats up toward summer |url=https://www.proquest.com/wire-feeds/japan-cola-market-heats-up-toward-summer/docview/365470886/se-2?accountid=8064 |access-date=20 June 2025 |work=Jiji Press English News Service |date=7 June 2010 |language=en}}
The taste is similar to the now-defunct Count Cola. The product was widely available in supermarkets and small take-away food outlets.{{cite news |title=Gordon comes to the bay's rescue |url=https://www.proquest.com/newspapers/gordon-comes-bays-rescue/docview/1012420001/se-2?accountid=8064 |access-date=20 June 2025 |work=The Canberra Times |date=9 January 2000 |language=en}} In Australia, the product was discontinued when Schweppes obtained a license to produce Pepsi products in Australia. Schweppes Cola is currently owned and distributed by Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Today, the product can be found in Canada and other countries.
